Unit conversion caveat: Converting Lp(a) between mg/dL and nmol/L is only approximate since it varies between individuals. Values can differ from a direct measurement by up to ~30%. While nmol/L is the preferred measurement (better prognostic value), mg/dL is more common in labs. The conversion ratio used here seems to be the most supported by the research.
Optimal Lp(a) reference ranges for longevity
Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It does not usually change throughout the lifetime, so its enough to measure it once.
- According to Peter Attia, Lp(a) should be below 30 mg/dL
- According to European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS), Lp(a) should be below 50 mg/dL
To see these ranges in your preferred unit, enter your lab result above.
